commit e23bb04b0c938588eae41b7f4712b722290ed2b8 upstream. If BTF data is missing or removed from the ELF section it is still exported via sysfs as a zero-length file: root@OpenWrt:/# ls -l /sys/kernel/btf/vmlinux -r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Jul 18 02:59 /sys/kernel/btf/vmlinux Moreover, reads from this file succeed and leak kernel data: root@OpenWrt:/# hexdump -C /sys/kernel/btf/vmlinux|head -10 000000 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 |................| * 000cc0 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 80 83 b0 80 |................| 000cd0 00 10 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 |................| 000ce0 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 57 ac 6e 9d |............W.n.| 000cf0 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 |................| * 002650 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 10 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 01 |................| 002660 80 82 9a c4 80 85 97 80 81 a9 51 68 00 00 00 02 |..........Qh....| 002670 80 25 44 dc 80 85 97 80 81 a9 50 24 81 ab c4 60 |.%D.......P$...`| This situation was first observed with kernel 5.4.x, cross-compiled for a MIPS target system. Fix by adding a sanity-check for export of zero-length data sections.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
